Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter 11 - 2 Chapter 10 Objectives After you have read and studied this chapter, you should be able to Perform linear and binary search algorithms on small arrays. Determine whether a linear or binary search is more effective for a given situation. Perform selection and bubble sort algorithms. Describe the heapsort algorithm and show how its performance is superior to the other two algorithms. Apply basic sorting algorithms to sort an array of objects.

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter 11 - 3 Searching When we maintain a collection of data, one of the operations we need is a search routine to locate desired data quickly. Here’s the problem statement: Given a value X, return the index of X in the array, if such X exists. Otherwise, return NOT_FOUND (-1). We assume there are no duplicate entries in the array. We will count the number of comparisons the algorithms make to analyze their performance. –The ideal searching algorithm will make the least possible number of comparisons to locate the desired data. –Two separate performance analyses are normally done, one for successful search and another for unsuccessful search.

We count how many times the search value is compared against the array elements. Successful Search –Best Case – 1 comparison –Worst Case – N comparisons (N – array size) Unsuccessful Search –Best Case = Worst Case – N comparisons

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter 11 - 7 Sorting When we maintain a collection of data, many applications call for rearranging the data in certain order, e.g. arranging Person information in ascending order of age. Here’s the problem statement: Given an array of N integer values, arrange the values into ascending order. We will count the number of comparisons the algorithms make to analyze their performance. –The ideal sorting algorithm will make the least possible number of comparisons to arrange data in a designated order. We will compare different sorting algorithms by analyzing their worst-case performance.

Now the smallest element is in the first position. 3.Repeat Step 1 and 2 with the list having one less element (i.e., the smallest element is discarded from further processing). 012345678 23175901244388477 min first exchange 012345678 51723901244388477 sorted unsorted This is the result of one pass.

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter 11 - 11 Selection Sort Performance We derive the total number of comparisons by counting the number of times the inner loop is executed. For each execution of the outer loop, the inner loop is executed length – start times. The variable length is the size of the array. Replacing length with N, the array size, the sum is derived as…

The bubble sort improves the performance by making more than one exchange during its pass. By making multiple exchanges, we will be able to move more elements toward their correct positions using the same number of comparisons as the selection sort makes. The key idea of the bubble sort is to make pairwise comparisons and exchange the positions of the pair if they are out of order.
